Guest Book Comments
We thought The Granary exceptionally well appointed and comfortable. Loved all the hot water and children and dog loved the garden. Everything was well thought out.
Thank you from us all for providing such a comfortable and great base for our family holiday. No one got up early enough to see the otters, we were all exhausted after our activities and slept so well.
Whilst we cannot guarantee availability for these dates, you may enquire below and we'll be in touch with the owner.
